NEW DELHI—India's economic growth is expected to slow to around 6%, dragged by domestic issues, but the government is focused on getting the country back on a growth path, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said.

"Our exports have shrunk and the fiscal deficit has gone up on account of a variety of factors," Mr. Singh said in a speech at an awards ceremony in Mumbai late Saturday.
